I debated the same thing. I got the GSD3s. No regrets at all.

Default IMHO, no. If you want the best of the best in terms of performance and quality get the PS2. But...

...for me, it's overkill at that price. The GS D3s are first-rate tires too.

I'd get the GS D3s for $280 less.

Default Yes!! I have GSD3s. Just spent 3 month of trouble shooting tire...

pull and I have finally given up. For all my trouble Good Year just gave me 60% of what they cost me. I tried for 100% from the shop or a trade for adifferant tire, but couldn't get any where with them. Guess what tires are on there way now?? ya, what I should have started with. Would have saved money overall. PS2s here I come!

Default Can't possibly imagine so...

...the performance tests on them done at tirerack are virtually a dead heat, with PS2's doing better at the dry slalom where transitional inputs are important and the GS-D3's doing better in the wet with a better ride due to a softer sidewall. If the PS2's lasted longer for their increased cost that would be a consideration, but I haven't seen any evidence that that's the case. I'll be getting another set of GS-D3's in a couple months, and a second set of the same kind of tires will be a first on my S4.
